Weinstein’s Attorney: ‘Rape Is a Terrible Crime’ But It’s ‘Equally Reprehensible’ To Be Accused of Rape

EXCERPT:

BRAFMAN: "No one can be happy to be in the position he is in. As I said in court, rape is a terrible crime and he has denied these allegations. And as terrible a crime as rape is, it is equally reprehensible to be falsely accused of rape. And since Mr. Weinstein has denied these allegations, that's where we are. In his view, he has been falsely accused of rape and I intend to help him win this case fair and square on the merits or the lack of merits."
